The wedding is getting closer and closer.
I'm going to need to make it very romantic. I'll try my best!
Chapter 38
"That's enough Tsuki" Izaya said removing his son from his nipple. He placed the baby down and opened up the dresser. The lithe raven grabbed a small red shirt and was about to put it on Tsuki when he noticed that Shizuo was still present. For the first time he noticed how close the bleached blonde was to him and that Shizuo wasn't wearing a shirt, just a pair of blue sweat pants. Izaya blushed a little, he could feel the blonde's heat radiating on him "Shizuo could you go and start making breakfast?"
"Sure, what do you want?"
"Anything's good, it's not like I'll throw up or anything" Shizuo did as the raven told him and left the room.
Once the blonde left the room Izaya carefully dressed the baby being sure not to bother the boy's head. Izaya was about to pick up Tsuki when an odd smell hit his nose, instantly he knew what it was. He grabbed a fresh diaper and cleaned his son once he was done and Tsuki was clean the lithe raven obtained Tsuki's scarf and let the baby grasp it. Tsuki smiled happily once he felt the soft cloth in his hands.
"You really love your scarf don't you Tsuki?" Izaya asked as he picked up the little brunette.
Izaya headed over to his and Shizuo's room. He placed Tsuki on the bed before heading over to the closet. Izaya took of Shizuo's baggy shirt and grabbed one he usually wore along with a pair of shorts. Fully changed Izaya picked up his son and held him lovingly as they headed over to where Shizuo was. The ex-bartender was in fact cooking and when Tsuki saw his father he giggled and moved his hands as if trying to grab something.
Izaya laughed at his sons attempt to reach out to his father. As Shizuo cooked Izaya sat down on the couch and played with Tsuki. He waved the boy's scarf around close to the baby's face who giggled happily. Tsuki contented himself with his scarf, playing with it, running his tiny fingers along it, drooling on it sometimes on accident. Tsuki was a calm baby and didn't mind lying lazily on the couch while his parents ate.
Shizuo called for Izaya once the table was set. Izaya obeyed and got up from the couch "Be right back Tsuki, play with your scarf" Tsuki did so letting his mother eat.
Once breakfast was done Izaya stood up straight, looked into Shizuo's eyes and asked "So who do you think we should tell first?"
At first Shizuo wasn't sure what the raven was getting at and then realized what Izaya was saying "Well I guess I can explain it to Tom once I get back to work maybe even let him meet Tsuki once he's old enough to go into the city"
"My sisters already know, my parents won't care. What about your parents?"
Shizuo was a little taken aback at what Izaya had said, about his parents not caring that their only son was able to give birth to a child. He was sure Izaya said his parents never really cared about him but it just seemed rather depressing even though Izaya seemed like he couldn't care less about his parents "Kasuka's really the only family member I have contact with, but he's an actor"
"What about Simon, and Dotachin and his gang?"
"You really think they would want to know?"
"I think they deserve to know, we've known Dotachin since High school and Simon was able to stop a few of our fights back then" Izaya went over to the couch and picked up his son who was still very entertained with his scarf.
"Pretty sure Simon's working; I'll go into the city and find him later today but I'm sure Kadota not busy"
"Okay that's good" Izaya looked down at Tsuki, the infant gave a toothless smile and gave an odd noise that seemed like a laugh. "Well Tsuki would you like to meet some new people" when Izaya said that Tsuki stopped smiling and his eyes went wide as if he could understand what his parent was saying. "He doesn't look very excited about it"
"He's an infant Izaya" Shizuo said as he took out his phone "I guess I'm going to have to explain that you've been living with me but how are we going to explain Tsuki. I mean we're not even sure how we managed to conceive"
"I don't think that matters, it's not like they won't believe you"
The ex-bartender began to call their friend while Izaya went back to their room and lied down on the bed with Tsuki in his arm. The little brunette enjoyed reaching out to touch the raven's face, sometimes hitting the raven's cheek. Izaya would stay in the room until Shizuo called him to go down and bring Tsuki. In order to keep Tsuki entertained he would wave Tsuki's scarf around and let the infant hit it and try to grasp it. Izaya didn't know what he'd do if Tsuki rip or lost his scarf, the little brunette seemed so attached to it.
Shizuo dialed his friend wondering how he was supposed to bring up Izaya and Tsuki. Would it be easier just to let them all come over and explain what they knew then? Guess I'm just going to have to go for it. The bleached blonde put the phone up to his ear as it rang. He heard Kadota answer and began to speak, there were several noises in the background.
"Hello, Shizuo? It's been a while hasn't it? I feel like I haven't seen you in the city in months. Well face to face, we all see the occasional vending machine"
"Yeah, I've been heading home directly after work for a while now"
"So Shizuo wh-"
The blonde male heard shuffling then a loud squeal hit his ear.
"Shizuo! Hey I've been meaning to ask you this but since we barely see you in the city anymore, anyway how have you been holding up since Izaya-"
Once again the phone was muffled.
"Erika, stop interrupting my calls"
"Well anyway Kadota I was just wondering if you and the rest of your gang could come over, I have something to say or rather explain"
"You sure you want them there?"
Shizuo knew he was referring to Erika and Walker, these two never cared what anyone thought about them no matter where they were. "Yeah they can come too"
"Alright, we'll be over there in a few minutes"
As usual they kept their promise and were there a lot faster than Shizuo thought they would. The bleached blonde went over to open the door he could hear a certain fujoshi talking to her best friend even though he couldn't make out the words. Shizuo opened the door greeting Kadota, Saburo, who looked irritated as usual, and an energetic Erika and Walker.
"Hey Shizuo Dotachin said you had something very important to say" Erika said barging in pushing he guy friends behind "Could it be a surprising and melodramatic confession of love now that the only person you could ever understand has now been missing long enough to be considered dead? And because of this revelation you've realized your true feelings and believe if you get them out it will somehow bring that person back and-"
"What are you getting at" Shizuo said plainly stopping the girl's rambling.
"So Shizuo what did you have to tell us" Kadota began as he entered the apartment, Saburo not far behind him.
"All of you might want to take a seat" Shizuo said motioning them to the couch "I'll be right back"
Shizuo went to his room where he found Izaya lying on the bed. Tsuki was on his stomach staring at the raven's face with a big grin on his face.
"Are they here?" Izaya asked as he stood up carrying Tsuki.
"Yeah, don't go right now just wait a bit okay"
"Sure thing, I was going to change Tsuki anyway. He has a dirty diaper and he drooled too much on his shirt"
The blonde left the room and returned to where his visitors were. As he waked there he tried to compose his thought wondering where he would start. When he told Kasuka he had already seen Tsuki and Izaya there was no avoiding it. Even with Izaya's sisters it was easy to explain since he didn't really know Izaya's sisters that well, he hadn't gone to high school with those girls but he had gone to high school with Kadota. If he and Izaya had started dating early on then it might have been easier to explain. Shizuo honestly thought that the last time Kadota saw them he was throwing signs at the raven. Shizuo let out a sigh, he was overthinking it. In this situation it would be better just to get it out. When the ex-bartender got there it seemed as if Erika was trying to figure out what he was going to tell them.
"If it's not a secret confession then Shizuo must want to tell us…..Oh I know! He and Izaya where dating this entire time! He must be heartbroken"
"I don't think…" Walker began but the male otaku didn't want to destroy his friend's fantasy. She never did that to him.
"Actually she's kind of right" Shizuo said as he leaned on the edge of the couch.
"What?! Really?! I knew it!" Erika jumped out of her seat; her eyes went wide and shone bright.
The other three males looked at Shizuo with a shocked expression, they looked a little pale.
"W-What? You're not serious Shizuo" Kadota said as he looked up at the ex-bartender.
"I'm serious. Just you're not exactly correct Erika" Shizuo began.
"Oh but please tell me you guys were dating!" Erika said he face flushed in excitement.
"Who said we stopped" Shizuo said smirking a little, the fujoshi squealed happily. "Alright seriously though, me and Izaya started dating a while back, not too long after that big gang fight. He's not dead, I took him and somehow we ended up dating and well…" Shizuo could feel a small blush for on his cheeks but he managed to overpower it "we're getting married"
Erika, in her typical fan girl fashion, let out a cheer in delight "Yes! Yes, yes yes! It finally happened! Did you get him a ring?!"
"Yeah of course" Shizuo said pointing at his index finger the girl squealed happily. Shizuo looked over at Saburo and Kadota; Kadota's eyes were wide while Saburo stared with his mouth wide open. Kadota put his hand on Saburo's shoulder and let out a sigh "I can't believe I'd ever say this, Erika your theory was right"
"Told you! They're perfect for each other!"
Walker put his hand on Erika's shoulder pulling her down on the couch. "Calm down Erika, you're letting your fujoshi show"
Slowly Erika calmed down and so did the rest of them. Shizuo let out a sigh in relief happy that all his friends approved.
"What's with all the yelling going on over here" Izaya said entering the area, Tsuki in his arms dressed in his little vest his scarf in his hands "Tsuki was starting to get suspicious that something was going on"
The entire gang stared at Izaya for a moment, not having any contact with him for over nine months made Izaya seem kind of like a ghost. Izaya seemed different too. More inviting and kind, not to mention he was holding a baby. All of their eyes shifted to Tsuki.
"Izaya…who's that?" Kadota said pointing at Tsuki.
"What Shizuo didn't tell you? This is Tsukishima Heiwajima, me and Shizuo's son"
Everyone nearly fainted in shock.
"Oh my god! That means you guys did it! Oh he's so cute!" Erika said as she quickly went to where Izaya was and began poking Tsuki's belly "He has your eyes"
"That's really your biggest observation" Kadota began "How about how it's even possibly that they had children? Shizuo please don't tell me Izaya's actually a woman"
"Kadota if Izaya was a woman then it wouldn't be Yaoi and of course Tsukishima is a product of love" Erika stated putting the emphasis on love.
"No, Izaya's not a woman" Shizuo said clearing things up "but he does have a womb from what I know"
"He is a cute kid" Walker said going up to Tsuki.
"Can I carry him Izaya" Erika said practically begging.
"Sure just don't take away his scarf" Izaya gave the small baby to the female otaku.
Erika and Walker spent their time playing with bay Tsuki while Izaya and Shizuo tried their best to explain everything to Saburo and Kadota. The entire gang war, Shiki trying to get Tsuki and of course Izaya's new mission on keeping the piece by being a different kind of info broker who took orders from no one.
"My name is Nakura on the forums and chat rooms, so if you see that name just know it's me" Izaya said smiling a little. The raven cuddled up closer to the blonde an action quickly noticed by Erika.
"You guys are so cute! I want to go to the wedding"
"Of course you can go just don't make a scene" Izaya said giving the girl a serious looks "Just for the record Erika I'm going to be wearing a dress since gay marriage isn't legal here"
"That really does stink, ruins the yaoi" Erika tickled Tsuki a little bit while making a funny face. Tsuki laughed happily "You think he'll like yaoi"
"Erika he's a baby" Walker said tempted to take the baby away from her.
"I know but what if he grows up and becomes like a chibi seme, wouldn't that be cool"
Once the gang left Izaya went to go feed Tsuki. As he did so Shizuo began to speak "So those four down, we still have to tell Simon. And I guess I could try to get in contact with me parents"
"That's great!"
"Why don't you want to tell your parents?" Shizuo asked in a concerned voice.
"Because I told you, they don't care about me" Izaya's face saddened a little "but that doesn't matter I have you and Tsuki" Shizuo leaned down and kissed Izaya on his lips, it must be hard for him to think about his parents.
"Can you tell me why you feel that way?"
"They never watched me or showed any sign of even caring about me, ever. You see my sisters running around wherever they want. I think they may not have wanted me but I don`t care because everything they did made me into the person I was and that lead me to meeting you and well everything that happened. Besides I don't really want to talk to them"
"Okay I see" Shizuo sat next to Izaya and put a hand over the raven's shoulder. Tsuki took his lips off of Izaya's nipple and looked up as his parents "I understand you do have your issues but that's fine" He pulled the raven closer "It's all okay now and I think we should just focus on the now. Tsuki and the wedding and you said yourself you wanted more children"
Shizuo planted a kiss on Izaya's lips and maybe the couple didn't know it but Tsuki watched as his parents kissed and he laughed a little in joy.
Please review.
It's getting closer to 2013 and I just want to say I wish all of you a happy new year.
